Tidal marsh

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-009661

A wetland ecosystem found along coastlines, characterized by herbaceous vegetation that is regularly inundated by tidal waters. These environments are shaped by the ebb and flow of tides, which influence salinity, sediment deposition, and nutrient cycling. They serve as natural buffers against storm surges and coastal erosion.
